Major Update "Firebirds" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

That’s a very apples to oranges comparison.

GB got the MiG 21 because Gaijin decided that India should be a British sub tree for whatever reason. It is not because GB evaluated the MiG 21. If the US were a subtree of the UK, you would have a point, but they have their own tree, so it wouldn’t make sense for GB to get any US aircraft that they, or their subtrees, never used.

Ah yes bomb busses who easily get sniped by Russian AA

Where the F-117 doesn’t even show up because guess what it’s stealth !

Most of them are much better against the 2S6 and Pantsir than the F-117 will ever hope to be lmao.

Anyone who has played high tier to some extend will realize that lol.

“Muh stealth” is only useful in ground in your imagination.

as soon as it opens its bomb doors the Pantsir will see it. The F117 is a gimmick. A cool one at that.
And then again, just bc its stealth doesnt mean its undetectable. Its only hard to see up to a certain range.

South Korea and Japan are also not connected militarily and have only in common the use of US military vehicles.
Adding SK sub TT to Japan is also “destructive” enough.
Japanese TT needs something more?
You go to JSDF and ask them to produce more vehicles.

GB has plenty of CAS options, why do they need a F-117? Because of how War Thunder works, it’s going to be a gimmick at most.

So if it’s a gimmick then it’s alright if it doesn’t come into the game at all then or just be an event : P

In what way? When EFT started to its service life F-15 was already using AESA radar and had similiar flight performance, F-16’s also recieved their AESA radars way earlier than Typhoons while having similiar capabilites, as for the cherry on top F-22 Raptor is superior to any Typhoon, only thing Typhoon has over Us planes is the Meteor missile.

I know you like to Phrase British Jets and Typhoons but EFT isnt something uber super, especially against Raptor.

Not to mention that it’s a big triangular subsonic brick.

I don’t know if deathmisser has played any high tier SPAA, but you can just manually guide your SAM missiles to a target with the non IR missile AA.

And hitting a target that size and that slow is easy as hell.

If it weren’t for the leaks, I’d honestly agree, but they’ve been right so far, so chances are good for a squadron F-117 for the US.

I don’t play top tier

So you are trying to tell people how good the F-117 will be in ground RB because of stealth and how much britain needs it, without even playing the BR?

and then again I highly doubt that it will be at top tier. An A4E (9.3) is more versatile and effective than the F117

Well… according most on this thread, the Typhoon is so OP that if it was added ot the game right now it would be game breaking and we have to wait a year or 2 for it be able to be added. But the US can continue to get new aircraft in the meantime.

It went from F-15C MSIP II being equal to the Typhoon to now Super-Hornets. Im guessing F-22s will be next.

The only logical conclusion is that the Typhoon is SOOOOO good that no other nation could fight it.

Can I or can I not have an option ? : P

Just because some arrogant people claims certain things doesnt mean its real.

First Tranche Typhoons are pretty much F-15C equal, just because Gaijin hasnt added yet doesnt mean its superior to anything.

I’m sure US mains who never played Britain has the right to say what it needs and don’t

Exactly the point I was trying to make last night and was basically repeatedly told I was wrong and that the Typhoon would win without effort everytime and probably wont come till end of next year.

So instead Britain should get a CF-18 instead to keep them going for another year

No, because your option are pretty water at best

No? It’s because it’s a 90s to 2000 airframe and primarily an air superiority fighter. I seriously doubt anybody would bother with the aircraft if it would get stomped by shit from the 70s.
